Felt homely and very quiet. They were happy to transfer our bags from the guesthouse near the station to the mountainside lodge while we went straight to the lake.

the place had a homey feel, beautiful location in nature, walk 20 mins through the forest from nikko town to get there, or get a lift from Ken the owner- a lovely helpful man; breakfasts were great and the place was really good value for money!

This property has been on Booking.com since Feb 9, 2011.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

The toilet had not been cleaned at all (especially dirty under the seat) -- possibly an oversight of the cleaning staff. The room could have been cleaner, too. We had the last room along the corridor and wifi didn't really reach there, but worked perfectly well in the shared area, which was comfortable, so that was fine.

The lodge was decorated in a nice, homely style. Loved the view from the window -- trees, birds. The location was excellent -- a bit far from the station, but in beautiful woods. The shared area was nice and comfortable for chatting to other guests. The dinner was delicious -- highly recommended -- and the breakfast option, too. The dining options in town were pretty limited and much worse, go for the dinner here!

The mattress of my bed (a top bunk) was not impressive. Good enough for a short stay though.

Food was very good and the price was not so expensive (¥1200 for a filling chicken teriyaki dinner and ¥600 for scrambled eggs, small salad and toast for breakfast). Considering everything seems to be closed in Nikko at night, dining there might be a good idea.
The lodge is located at about 20min walking from the train station. You can get a map with instructions on how to get there at their other lodge right in front of the station. You can also leave your bag there and they'll take to the lodge for you so you don't have to walk around with your luggage until checking in. They also have a shuttle in the end of the afternoon if you don't feel like walking (and at least another one in the morning to the station).
Not all the staff speaks english, but the owners (a married couple) of the place do. By the way, she (a nice filipino woman who has been in Japan for a very long time) is very sweet and fun to talk to. All my main interactions happened with her so language was not a problem at all.
The shower and toilets were clean and already supplied with toiletries.
Towels and linen seemed clean.

I don't like to write negative reviews but I was quite shocked by a few things during my stay...mold patches on my bedroom wall, stained blankets, several long black hairs in my towels and the lid of the toilet was dirty. I wasn't expecting luxury but I was expecting cleaniness. Overall I was disappointed and felt uncomfortable during my stay.

The owner was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was large and delicious.
